NPOWER with a 17% hike in prices - Here we go

MoneyMiser

Hi All,

Please be aware that people who recently switched to nPowers Sign Online 8 tariff will not be effected by these price hikes. The same goes if your on Sign Online 9.

12.7% increase on electricity prices and 17.2% on gas prices. That is a massive jump and will effect people on the Standard, pre-payment, economy 7, SOL 4, 5, 6, 7 tariffs.

I wonder who will be next, I would bet my house that British Gas is next!!!

One of my colleagues called British Gas earlier and was told they have suspended all price fix tariffs, so it could well be!

The price fix 2008 is still on the Swalec website!

Really confused still. I had a look at energyhelpline and simply switch. One is suggestion to switch to Spark Energy and save £130 a year. This would be great, but how good are they?

Also, I am having to gestimate consumption at the moment, cause I actually only moved into my flat in Nov and haven't had a bill yet.

Well, I have just applied online for the Price Fix 2008 deal. Will need to wait and see what happens now.

I have no doubt NPower will cut the price of Gas (again) in the summer , when poeple need it the leaste, and others will follow, and Npower will see record profits (again) just like the rest!

I'll bet my pension that they won't. Looking at current wholesale prices, we're not in for any cuts until maybe 2011.

OH heard it on the news and was beside himself, switching off lights and getting almost paranoid about it. Listening to Martin Lewis on Radio 2 at lunchtime he was saying not to switch..........at least not let.

I'm confused by it all...........does this increase at the moment only apply to new or online customers ? We've been with npower (elec. & gas)for a while now so how will this affect us exactly. All the different tariffs are mind boggling.

I switched at the start of the week feeling all smug about saving myself 20% but now it looks like it will be cancelled out with the raises. bitter twisted negative side of me says GRRR, damn those money grabbing gits but the happy positive side says - maybe I won't be worse off as the 20% saved will equate to the increase. my sense of timing is abysmal. lol
